Aug 29, 2021
Dr. Kirkwood was very nice and approachable about my health issue. He told me what was going on in simple terms for me to understand and happily answered any questions I had. He also gave me his honest opinion about the procedure and how to proceed. At the end of the visit, he gave me some more helpful information on my condition that was very helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Kirkwood
